We had a wonderful evening on the Indochina Queen cruise! The logistics were smooth and well handled, making the whole experience stress-free. The food was tasty with a good selection, and the service was truly excellent – the staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The only thing that surprised us a little was the entertainment, as the music was mostly Western rather than local. That said, it didn’t take away from what was overall a fantastic cruise. Highly recommend for a great night in the city!

it was a nice cruise, good way to look at the city from Saigon River. arrived early to the port and the buggy car will drop you to the right ship. Buffet dinner already open when we arrived early. Very surprised all the food items was actually very nice and tasty. After dinner you can go to the rooftop to have a better view, by then music, singing and performance are well underway. But yhe music and singing get extremely loud! and singing English song (i was expecting more cultural Vietnamese song) and then there was sexy belly dancer performance? so weird. other than that it was a enjoyable evening with Indochina Queen.
